Abstract
This thesis aims to fulfill the needs for storage, portability, and comfort in the growing population of itinerant young professionals through generating a deployable device that provides a sense of familiarity and personalization. Prior to activation, the device acts as a secure and protective container for personal belongings. Once activated, it will provide a number of surfaces that allow for work, rest, display, and storage. Acting as both storage receptacle and deployable furniture, the device allows for one to move efficiently and, in doing so, still maintain a sense of identity at different locations.
